Hello people! My god I can not believe how amazing everyone is! Almost 30 reviews and more then a dozen faves and alerts and it was only the first chapter! I think I might cry... *sniffles* I thank each and every one of you who reviewed or subscribed or faved this story. It has really made me happy.
Now then I know that you are all wanting to get to the chapter so I will shut up now and let you read.
The sun felt hot on the back of his neck adding to his discomfort. Even though he could stop and go inside where there was air conditioning he decided not to. He needed to keep working to distract himself from how horrible he felt.
'Come on its not that hard!' Sam thought to himself. 'I've done it before nothing has changed...'
Taking a deep breath to try and calm himself Sam closed his eyes and reached deep inside looking for the shining white light that was the AllSpark. When he felt like he had a good grip on the power he began to try and draw it out to the surface. A warm tingle ran over his right arm. He opened his eyes and saw small jolts of blue power dancing over his out stretched arm and hand. Making sure to keep his breathing even like he was told he focused on pushing the power he had just gathered to a single point in his hand.
Small bolts of power started forking from his hand as he concentrated harder on it. He locked his eyes on the large target that was standing at least fifty feet away. When he felt like he had let the power build long enough he took a deep breath and let the power shoot forward aiming for the target. A large bright blue bolt of electricity shot from his hand and a grin came to Sam's face. His small moment of happiness didn't last as the bolt only traveled a small distance from him before evaporating into thin air.
"GOD DAMN IT!" He yelled.
His voice echoed around the large shooting range drawing the attention of the few soldiers and Autobots that where there also practicing. Letting out a frustrated growl he sat on the hard hot ground and clutched his head between his hands. Breathing hard he tried to fight back the hot tears that where trying to fall from his eyes. He wasn't able to hold them all back and he felt a few drip from the end of his nose.
"You ok there kid?"
Sam snapped his head up and found Will standing in front of him a concerned look on his face.
"I'm fine..." He choked out.
"You don't look fine..." Will said. "And from what I just saw... and heard..."
"I'M FINE!" Sam snapped.
Will's face didn't change at the teens raised voice, he simply nodded his head and sat down across from the boy and waited. The two of them sat in silence for a while before Sam took a deep breath.
"I don't get it..." He said. "It has been almost two weeks since it happened..." Sam didn't need to say what 'it' was; he doubted that there was anyone on the base who didn't know about what happened with Mikaela. "I should be over it. I mean sure it was a harsh thing to see her with Trent, but it wasn't like I didn't know that she was just using me... I just... just..." He sighed in frustration and covered his face.
"Sam..." Will said. "I am not going to pretend that I am an expert on things like this. I mean I had only ever been with maybe two other people before I met Sarah. But I do know this... the first time you get your heartbroken is always the worst and it takes a while to get over it no matter what."
Sam nodded his head. "I guess..."
"You just need to give you're self some more time, you will be back to normal before you know it." Will finished standing up and offering Sam his hand. "Now come on, I didn't come out here to get all girlie and talk about our feelings."
Sam blinked up at Will before taking his hand and standing. "Why did you come out here?"
Will began pushing Sam in the direction of the base. "I came to get you because Optimus and Ratchet want to talk with you."
Sam gowned as he was forced in the direction of the med bay. He didn't know what Ratchet and Optimus wanted but he was sure that it would either involve some kind of medical test or some kind of long drawn out speech. The two of them seemed to reach the med bay a lot faster than Sam had wanted to and the moment they were in front of the door it opened showing the shinning room inside. Will didn't push Sam any further; instead he began to back up trying to get away as fast as he could.
"Sorry kid but you are on your own from here." Will said. "Ratchet has been trying to get me to come in for a checkup and I have been doing all I can to avoid that."
With that said Will turned and ran off leaving Sam to deal with the two 'Bots alone. Sighing Sam entered the med bay looking around for Optimus and Ratchet. When he saw that he was alone he started heading to the door himself hoping to get away before one of them came in. Luck was not on his side as the door to Ratchet's office opened and both Optimus and the medic came walking out.
"Samuel, where are you going?" Ratchet asked his optics narrowed.
Sam turned around and gulped as he looked up at the two mechs. "I was... just coming to see you..."
"Of course you where..." Ratchet said shaking his head.
"Hello Sam." Optimus greeted. "How are you today?"
"I'm fine Optimus." Sam said with a small smile.
A short laugh came from Ratchet. "I doubt that very highly; if you where fine then you wouldn't be in the state you are in."
Sam tilted his head confused for a moment. "What are you talking about Ratchet?"
Ratchet stopped moving and stared down at Sam for a moment. "Have you not seen you're self?"
Sam shook his head. The heavy sound of grinding gears sounded through the med bay and Ratchet moved quickly to pick Sam up. He gripped him firmly but gently and sat him down on the berth before leaving for a moment. He came back quickly and sat a highly polished piece of metal on the berth in front of Sam.
Sam looked at his reflection for a moment and instantly noticed what Ratchet was talking about. He had large dark marks under his eyes and his skin was pale. His cloths which use to fit him perfectly where now baggy and his hair was a mess.
"Oh my god..." Sam whispered touching the metal.
"Now you see." Ratchet said. "You have been neglecting you're health. I would have called you in here sooner but someone ordered me to wait in hopes that you would see what damage has befallen you."
Sam didn't need to see to know that Ratchet was glaring at Optimus.
"I... I don't understand... I mean I know I haven't been sleeping much but I have spent hours outside in the sun and I do eat..." Sam said.
"You may spend hours outside in the sun Samuel but you hardly eat more than half a meal a day, that is what is making you pale and ill nourished. You're body needs double the intake to keep you healthy." Ratchet said.
"Is... is that why I can't control my abilities?" Sam asked.
"It could be part of the reason." Ratchet said. "There is also another reason why..."
"What is it?" Sam asked. "I can't even do the simplest things anymore..."
"We believe that the powers you get from the AllSpark are tied to your emotions." Optimus said.
"With you being so unstable right now, they are also unstable." Ratchet said.
Not more than a second after Ratchet had spoken the air in the room grew incredible hot, both Optimus and Ratchet looked down at Sam who had his fists clenched and a look of complete anger on his face.
"I AM NOT UNSTABLE!" He yelled.
Several lights shattered as a large wave of power came out from Sam's body.
"Samuel you must calm down!" Ratchet warned.
Whatever the medic was going to say next was cut off as he felt a large force slam against him which almost knocked him to the ground.
"DON"T TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO!" Sam yelled again several large dents erupting on the berth.
Optimus moved closer to Sam's side and moved down to one knee so his head was closer to Sam's.
"Sam..." Optimus said staying as calm as he could.
Sam turned to look at Optimus and the Prime could see a bright blue light starting to take over the white sections of the boy's eyes.
"Sam please... calm you're self." Optimus said.
Slowly the light faded from Sam's eyes and his face started to relax. The temperature in the room began to lower and the lights that where still on flickered for a moment before settling down. When the light faded completely from Sam's eyes he held his hand to his head and wobbled for a moment before falling to his knees. Optimus reacted instantly and cupped Sam in his large hand. The boy rolled so that he was lying back on Optimus's hand and looking up at the Prime.
"O... Optimus..." He whispered weakly.
"Shhh... I am here Sam." The Prime whispered. "I'll always be here."
A sad smile crossed Sam's face for a moment before his eyes closed and his breathing slowed down as he passed out.
Well? What do you all think? I hope that you liked it I had so much fun writing this chapter. I have to go now so until my next update.
